Description of the issue:
===================================================================================

The following description summarizes each component's purpose in order to provide 
greater understanding and reasoning behind their intention.


- DWFRepair for R2008_SP1: Utilizing this utility in 'fix' mode will remove 
specific file/item to DWF associations in the vault possibly caused by a DWF 
publishing failure.

- DWFGenerate for R2008_SP1: This publishing utility searches for and publishes 
missing DWFs in a vault, for the latest released item revisions and the latest 
file versions, without revisioning/versioning them.


===================================================================================
Warnings:
===================================================================================

Refer to each component's README for detailed description and installation instructions.

Deployment Overview:
===================================================================================

This is the deployment order for optimal results. It is required to follow the 
pre-requirements and deployment instructions inside the README for each component.


-------------------------------------------------
Autodesk Data Management Server R2008_SP1 users:
-------------------------------------------------
    1. DWFRepair:  Run the utility on the server in 'report' mode to get a list of 2D/3D 
files whose DWF associations will be removed.  Run it again in 'fix' mode to perform 
cleanup.  Alternatively, run it in 'fixandreport' mode to do both tasks at once. Follow 
the README for detailed instructions.
    2. DWFGenerate for R2008_SP1:  Run this utility on a workstation to re-create DWFs and add 
them to the vault with the proper associations.  This replaces the removed entries for the 
latest released item revisions and the latest file versions without revisioning/versioning 
them. Follow the README for detailed instructions.
